- FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1926 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, - 1926 PAGE SEVEN King Holds Four Meetings in Eastern Ontario, Including Cobourg Napanee, Sept. 10.--Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Liberal Lead- er, today transferred his activities to Eastern Ontario, addressing three large meetings here and at Cobourg. Two of the meetings, ong of them an overflow, were held here tonight, when the former Premier addressed more than 4,000 people in the inter- ests of Herbert H. Horsey, Liberal candidate in Prince Edward-Lennox. An' equal number heard him in Co- bourg this afternoon when he was speaking in the interests of W. A. Fraser, Liberal candidate in North- umberland. For its setting at least, the Co- bourg meeting ranked among the best of Mr. King's tour. It was held at Horse Show Park, fhe trim grounds in which ghe famous Co- bourg Horse Show is held each summer. Mr. King spoke to the L- shaped stand from the tonneau of a motor car, and behind him, over acres of green lawn, the blue waters of Lake Ontario could be seen sparkling up to the cheery afternoon sun in its turquoise sky. Denounces Preniier Meighen At both meetings Mr. King renew- ed his denunciation of Premier Mei- ghen for the latter's criticism of the late Hon. George Boivin, Minister of Customs, at Kincardine on Thurs- day. Mr. King declared: "In every public school in this country and in the Old Land, in every college ané university, there is a certain teach: ing that is fundamental. It is a teaching that has come down to us through many centuries; it came down to us from the Roman Empire. Jt is this: D'e mortuis nil nisi bon- um' (Of the dead we speak nothing but good'). I would like Mr. Mei- ghen to learn that lesson, for, al- though he is Prime Minister, he has not' learned it up to the present time. "lI ask him, in the name of all that is honorable in public life, to stop slandering the dead, and I ask him not to mention the name of Mr. Boivin. "May I say that there is not a jot or tittle of evidence to substan- tiate what Mr. Meighen says. Ordl- nary decency would prevail upon man to be silent about a man whose grave is still new." At Local Theatres "DANCE MADNESS" FEATURES FAIR WEEK AT REGENT With colorful settings, including New York, Cairo and Paris, Dance Madness, one of the season's pep- piest farce-comedies, featuring beau- tiful Claire Windsor and dashing Conrad Nagel will occupy the Reg- ent screen the first half of Fair Weéek commencing Monday evening. Dance Madness is a fast, exhilirat- ing comedy, with tne hilarious situa- tion topping another in rapid succes- sion. The story opens in New York. where May Anderson (Claire Wind- sor) meets Roger Halladay (Conrad Nagel), They fall in love, marry go to Cairo om their honeymoon, and then decide \to live in Paris. Roger becomes fascinated .by Valentina (Hedda Hopper) a Russian dancer, and from then on you'll laugh till tears roll down your cheeks. May is as clever as she is beautiful, and it would be unfair to future aud- fences to disclose the plot further 4---hut youl have the time of your life, and our suggestion is Dance Madness, for it is only so {| often we get the opport@nity of j ni A a mirth unfolding, film: such as this one. Besides being a fresh and: charm- ing gloom dispenser, the praduction is gorgeously mounted, each new scene presenting a view that will be a decided treat to the eye, and the gowns "worn by Miss Windsor and Hedda Hopper are the last word in feminine adernment. "Altogether it's the maddest, mer- riest screen romance iaid eyes on, a sparkling comedy sensation. a madcap tale of modern marriage filled with laughs, a pit of seriousness, music, bright-eyes and dancing feet. Added units on Fair Week pro- gramme of Regent entertainment presents. "Charlie My Boy" a two- act comedy scream; interesting cur- rént events in Pathe Newsette and Sam Collis and his orchestra.

These three constituted the classifications of the days of the cycle car. Break Records Today the fastest American rac- ing cars are made to conform with the light car displacement of cycle car days, and are shattering the re- cords of the days of cars of much greater displacement. The cycle car movement spread rapidly. Concerns took up the man- ufacturing of engines and parts, and ultimately so raised the prices of materials that cycle cars could not be made to sell at a lower price than the Ford. National and other au- tomobile shows had displays of cycle cars and the public was much in- terested. Enthusiasm Shown Orders for thousands were taken at every show. One maker bhook- ed orders for 27,000 at the Chicago national show. Any maker entering the field had but to ®announce a complete model to book orders for thousands. One maker sent out publicity once and recieved 8,000 en- quiries within a few weeks. Anoth- a. MELLOWED by age, blended with care, ad' and displayed in a Detroit store win- new barrels containg thousands --- "1 nid 40,000 or more--letters ask- ve 0 information. Interest was 4 _asteat all over the country that fhe very appearance of a cycie, or 'amall car of 36-inch tread at the curb caused a congestion of traffic. «'vele car rapers were started and cuiried up to 50 pages and more adverticing. Local cycle car clubs and a « national association of ¢ycle car clubs were started. The 'rotor trade papers appointed cycle car editors and many daily papers did the same thing. The movement in America spread to' Europe, and due to high gasoline costs and' high tax per horsepower you've ever Feurvivel. and today America is tak- ing the small car iden from' Europe but will build cars of greater power than are built there. And it is the large makers who aré now at work on the development of the light car. Stable Mates These makers are introdueing these smaller cars mostly with stand- dard tread, and are groping for a name. Some term them '"pony"' cars. They are to be brought out by the makers of high-powered cars to serve as auxiliaries to the big ones for the city, suburban and country club use. In other words, the small car is to be a stable mate for the larger cars. And radical changes in small car design will be seen as the plan develops. Amer- ica's displacement standard will not' be as low as in Europe, where some cars go as low as 40 cubie inches. Many of these Buropean models have been imported to America and are being studied by American En- gineers. The modern small car will include four wheel brakes, balloon tires shock absorbers, air cleaners, oil purifiers, and other deviees which have been pioneered on larger and more expensive cars. In this re- spect the modern "pony" will be far ahead of its brother of the days before the great war, although mgny models then devised are going to meet a demand now when brought up to date. Many of the men who worked hard and patiently to de- vise and bring forth the little cars of over a decade back will enter the field, and it is believed that the new movement will bring about formation of many companies. Ottawa, Ont., Sept 10--Two cases, containing a total of 150 pounds of morphine paste, were seized by the Federal Department -of Health, as- sisted by the Royal Canadian Mount- ed Police, from the steamship Alaunis at Quebec on Sunday last, it was announced this evening by officers of the Health Department. The Department declined to make any estimate of the value of the seizure, further than to state that illicit peddlers of the paste would likely have received from $25 to $50 an ounce for it. It is about 50 per cent. morphin® which, in the legitimate market, brings $5 to $7 an ounee, The cases are thought to have been intended for Dalny, China, and officials here believe that they have come upon the methods which or- ganizations in Europe and on this continent, fighting the drug traffic, have suspected for some time have been employed to smuggle drugs into China. In addition to the drug, the paste is made up of oils, sugar and gum, and it is suspected that the drugaddicts chew it as they would chewing gum. In this form peddlers are able to get it into portions of China where morphine and opium are forbidden, the authorities not knowing what it is. . The British Government seized four cases similar to those seized Sunday, and suspected that there were two more cases in the consign- ment enroute to Chima. According- ly, the Government cabled the Cana- dian Government to be on the watch when the launia docked. The cases were not consigned to anyone, the only direction on them being 1 Dalny, China. The supposition is thatthe route --across--Canada---has been previously employed, and that the two cases are part of the ship- ment which the British Government seized. No arrests have been made so far. F. W. Cowan, chief of the opium and narcotic drug division of the Department of Health, went from Ottawa to Quebec to super- intend the seizure in view of the value of the cases taken. New York is always in a hurry or JShinks it is. It rides forty miles an 'hour in the subway ; scurries to the street and elbows its way to its objec- tives but every day a crowd halts in its maddening rush to watch the smoke pour out of a concealed chimney on the Woolworth Building thinking the lofty skyscraper is afire. People rush pell mell down Park Row each morning to work but can always take five minutes off to watch the City Hall cat stalk a sparrow. The humid heat of the Dog Days pervades even the precincts of the Housé of Morgan. But the members of that banking firm have resorted to phychology to cool their fevered heads. A common garden variety of lawn sprinkler has been installed on the roof of the glass dome that vaults the main floor and the financiers on the storeys above are mentally cooled by visions of flying spray that float be- fore their windows. . Salesmanship with the "newsies" in this town, as in most others, is as of- ten as not a matter of applied phy- chology. When Rudolph Valentino died, the newsboys did a rushing busi- ness with their late editions, especially among women customers. One news- boy in the Times Square subway sta- tion, instead of yelling the "latest" about-theahaye star's Condition, simply sang out the actor's' name and "sold out" in no time.
